What have you hit?

Bugger - I just saw what looked like the remains of a bandit next to an ambo at the top of Dom rd.
Hope the rider is ok. But it didn't look good. Front of car was toast.

Perhaps I should have added that I was riding on a beach at the time?

Have hit the usual stuff but once saw a police car just after it had collided with a stationary road roller. Lots of other officers around taking notes.
I haven't been hit one of Her Majesties Royal Force bombs though they tried, oil drums falling off a lorry up the M6, a brick sandwiched between a lorries rear tyres (common), a helicopter and a sea plane, oh and one of Her Majesties army bullets.

I ran over a dog once when it was chasing after me and it jumped in front of me. I couldn't stop because a group of about 10 people were chasing after me trying to tackle me off the dirt bike and beat me up. Luckily I managed to dodge the cunts by about half a metre.

Once I had a Rabbit hit me in the shoulder!
Yup! Actually a Hawk was lifting off carrying his breakfast, just as some inconsiderate CBR400 pilot came flying along the road.....
By the time said pilot realised the hawk was running out of torque to lift his breakfast, it was all too late.
Rabbit made a bit of a mess.... It already was a mess after the milk tanker (at a guess) got him... But all I will say is YUK!

Same road another time, had a bird strike right on my mirror!

Then there was the psycho Dog in Blenheim that managed to fit between the wheel and the Headers on the 400.... Heck that bike hated the wild life....
Tried to find dog, but he run away....with a burnt set of ribs I reckon....

Almost hit a goat on my GSX600 a few years later.... That gave me the willies, and could have been very bad if I hit him, as he jumped across the road as i was barreling through the twisties right by that Water Fall between Taumarunui and Te Kuiti...

So far i have hit a Rabit, Possum, Hedgehog, a massive Rabit and a bird smacked into my sholder.

Also had a very close run in with a few sheep.

Any body else not been so lucky.......
